Who else thinks Nintendo might help fund Shenmue 3?

Quick time events? A city full of nothing to do? Every object is manuseable but do absolutely nothing? Shenmue sucks. Let it rot in its coffin of unfulfilled promis.

There are much better games that Nintendo can fund.

What a dumbfounded comment. Shenmue was the first game that let you do that. It was released in a time before the PS2 sandboxes even started.

Of course the formula would have to be improved. Look at the Yakuza games. More in that style.The story and characters are incredible aswell as the setting, so have a bit of respect and sense that people actually enjoy this series and it was quite good for its time.

 

I'd take a new shenmue over a GTA anytime of the week. That series has been stale since GTA3. Its always the same game in a different setting.

Sleeping dogs for example, is the example of a game that tries to move things forward. And its one i recommend to shenmue fans in the meanwhile.

The only thing Shenmue pioneered was in the nothing-to-do-ness department. Shenmue is boring as hell, sleep inducing, slooooooow and uninteresting. Let's not even get into its ''fighting system''. Spend that money in something better. Let that crap stay in the past.
